The POISED95 Working Group is a focused effort to resolve some long-standing issues of the standards process and IETF procedure: o The Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) section of RFC 1602 is widely seen as inoperative, because it demands guarantees and procedures when licensing technologies that few, if any, donors will accept. o The procedures of the NOMCOM, or Nominating Committee, have been quite informal and different with every NOMCOM. They need to be codified. o Standards procedure documented in RFC 1602 needs to be restated to reflect reality and to remove obsolete provisions. o The ISOC has proposed creating a link between the IETF and ISOC, and has even created a committee to study the issue. The IETF needs a corresponding effort. o Other issues as appropriate. As befits an international organization, POISED95 will meet in Stockholm and Dallas to try and gauge a rough consensus on these issues and develop guidelines and drafts for the appropriate documents.
